قَالَ سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللّٰهُ: >يَنْبَغِي لِلرَّجُلِ أَنْ يُكْرِهَ وَلَدَهُ عَلَى الْعِلْمِ، فَإِنَّهُ مَسْئُولٌ عَنْهُ<
Translation
Sufyān ath-Thawrī [d. 161H] (may Allāh have mercy upon him) said: “It is befitting for a man to persuade his child to acquire knowledge because he will be asked about this.”
